Hi Everyone
I met with breast care nurses as a patient at Public Hospital. They talked me through each stage of treatment I was to have (my head was spinning most of the time) and came to see me after surgery in ward next day. I had a lot of trouble with pain relief in hospital and I mentioned to them as I was being discharged a few days later I would have had a lot less pain if I was advised to use the bag they gave me to carry the drain bottles in hospital. I remember being advised to use the bag at home. I was annoyed by this - you think its something they should have checked for when checking in on me. I remember getting a follow up phone call a few days later at home. A couple of times since I have had questions for the breast care nurse. I have rung them and emailed them. Sometimes it does require me to follow up with them but I keep ringing and emailing them until I get a response.
